This 4-unit apartment building was constructed in 1969 on the northerly 100 feet of Lot 4 in Block I of Dean’s Subdivision. The building has an “L” shape, with two units facing Providence Street and two units facing Palm Avenue.
This corner parcel was originally owned by Andrew A. Colbert, who purchased it on August 8, 1920, from Dean Development Company for $1,200. On the southerly end of the parcel, the Colberts constructed a modest two-story home (now 1576 Palm Avenue), with a garage located on the first floor of the structure and living quarters on the second floor, according to notations of the 1922 Sanborn Insurance Company map.
Earlier address: 1140 Providence Street; Dean’s Subdivision, Block I, Lot 4 (northern portion).
